A fabulous batter with excellent cricket strikes, wearing the number 18. Not Virat Kohli, though. Smriti Mandhana, the astute left-handed opener for the Indian women’s cricket team, is the subject of this article.
The opener for the Indian women’s cricket team, known as the “national crush of India,” caught the attention of netizens a few days ago after a photo of her fixing her hair during the team’s lone Test match against England went viral on social media. Soon after, Mandhana’s followers frequently compared her to Bollywood actresses.
An old tweet of hers has been making the rounds on social media right now because she is still in the headlines. Which type of marriage do you prefer—a love marriage or an arranged marriage?—was a question posed to her by a fan during one of her interactive fan sessions.
Being the bright and intelligent woman that she is, Mandhana replied to the Twitter user with the scathing phrase “Love-ranged.”
Mandhana is now in England with the Indian women’s squad. Mandhana stole the show with the bat during the third One-Day International on Saturday in Worcester with a hit of 49 runs. She scored 57 runs off 57 balls, hitting eight boundaries.
Although the India Women lost a couple of quick wickets in the middle, Mithali Raj led the team home with an unbeaten 75-run inning
In the process, Mithali surpassed Charlotte Edward’s 10,273-run total to take the top spot among all forms in women’s international cricket scoring. Now, a three-match Twenty20 International series between India and England will begin on July 9.
Mandhana began her Test debut against England in August 2014, beginning her cricket career. After recovering from an injury, she joined the team for the 2017 World Cup and helped the Indian team advance to the championship game of the Women’s Cricket World Cup.
